What an amazing comeback by the Sri Lankans! I was thinking that it was all over for them, when Ramesh Mendis got out. 20 runs were needed from 2 overs and the most experienced Indian bowler (Bhuvneshwar Kumar) conceded 12 runs of the 19th over. Also, I was really surprised by Dhawan's captaincy. He didn't even gave a single over to Navdeep Saini, despite the fact that Chetan Sakariya was leaking runs in every direction. Personally I don't like Saini, but on this occasion I think he should have bowled a few overs.

India scored only 132 runs. I am surprised to see such a low run rate in T20 matches. Despite having many good batsmen in the Indian squad, they have scored only 132 runs. Sikhar Dhawan scored 40 runs off 42 balls. The strike rate is less than 100. I at least expected them to collect more than 145. Sri Lanka needs 133 runs off 120 balls. Not a very difficult task.
Well.. JSRAW already pointed out that India went with just 5 batsmen. Now watching the batting performance from Sri Lanka, it looks like the surface is really hard for batting. The spinners and medium pacers are getting a lot of support from the pitch. The match is now like 50/50. Both the teams have equal chances at the moment. Sri Lanka was cruising nicely, but then Minod Bhanuka got out in the bowling of Kuldeep Yadav. In case Sri Lanka loses this match, then it will be a big setback for them. Given the fact that India struggled to find enough players to get this match going, I expected something better from Sri Lanka this time.
In the end, Sri Lanka won the first T20 match against India. However, their batsmen did not play very well. At least, I didn't like their playstyle. Bhanuka, Dhananjaya and Chamika's good batting helped Sri Lanka win. The other batsmen did not perform as well as expected. Despite the fact that the Indian players are more experienced than the Sri Lankan players, they have lost. We expected better gameplay from India.
The match between Pakistan and West Indies is now delayed due to rain. Pakistan's decision to bowl was right. Because West Indies batsmenera is very skilled. I think if Pakisthan are given a target of 160/170 , then the West Indies will easily win the match.
The match against Pakistan is delayed. Let's enjoy the match between India and Sri Lanka. India scored 60 runs in 10 overs by losing 1 wicket.
Interesting! It can't be consider as a T20 game now. The match reduced to 9 overs for the delayed start. I thought West Indies will score above 100 runs. But they have scored 85 runs from 9 overs. It's hard to keep any team ahead in this short over match. On the other side, Sri Lanka won the match by 4 wickets against India. Last T20 match will determine this series winner.

Well we're in deep trouble, can't witness this massacre of young kids. We would be lucky if team touch the even 140 mark.

Anybody watching the match between India and Sri Lanka. Performance from India isn't that good. The run rate is 6.29 RPO at the moment. Already 17 overs completed.

Against Australia, the West Indian batsmen really struggled. Both the pacers (Starc/Hazlewood) as well as the spinners (Zampa, Turner, Agar) put then in a lot of trouble. But then, it is T20 format and West Indies definitely have an advantage in this format. In fact, they are one of the best in T20 format. It needs to be seen whether rain will allow play today or not. Pakistan has sent a very experienced squad, and they will depend on Babar Azam/Fakhar Zaman for batting, and Shaheen Shah Afridi/Hasan Ali for bowling. BTW, who is this Mohammad Wasim Jnr? Hearing about him for the first time.
This tweet sums up India's situation tonight, kinda funny too 
. India is going with only 5 specialist batsmen and 3 of them are debutantes (Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devdutt Padikkal, Nitish Rana). Indian batting order finishes at Nitish Rana, after that tailenders with only Bhuvi knows thing or two about batting.

Indian batting order finishes at Nitish Rana, after that tailenders with only Bhuvi knows thing or two about batting.Bhuvneshwar Kumar at no.6. Can you believe it? Indian team is going in to this match with 5 batsmen and 6 bowlers. They are fortunate that Sanju Samson is not in isolation. Else who would have kept the wickets? Shikhar Dhawan? If I am not wrong, the playing XI for today's match is going to be the most inexperienced one India ever put up for an international match. And the fun fact is that even with such a squad, India is still the favorite to win. And that tells a lot about the condition of Sri Lankan cricket right now.
Two T20 matches between India vs Sri Lanka and Pakistan vs West Indies will be played today. The match between Pakistan and West Indies seems unpredictable to me. The West Indies have always performed well in the T20 format, but Pakistan also has a lot of hard-hitter batsmen. Pakistan did well in the T20 match against Australia.
In another match, I think India will still win against Sri Lanka today. India had lost the previous ODI match. They will not make any mistake in today's match and will win the match.

After winning the toss Pakistan has decided to bowl first. In my opinion it is good decision. What made Pakistani team think they will be able to chase successfully. I guess they are confident that their bowlers will be able to restrict West Indies batsmen and their batsmen will be able to chase an easy target.

India started well, IMO. After the first power play, they were at 45/0 (6.0 overs). But the fall of first wicket seems to have slowed them down, as Shikhar Dhawan is known as a slow starter. Devdutt Padikkal has come to the crease now, and today's his debut. IMO, he is one of the best young batsmen available for India, but somehow the selectors always tend to ignore him when it comes to national team selection. He has a strike rate of close to 150 in T20 cricket and I will be disappointed in case he fails today.
Haha true
Bhuvi batting at no 6 is wildest dream for opposition in T-20 format. I'm not sure about India winning this match but really excited about seeing Bench strength of 2nd string indian team lol.
Batters need to perform well for bowlers tho, so far they are doing okay, let's see

Shit Gaikwad is gone

Looks as if there will be more frustration for the fans. The Pakistan vs West Indies match is delayed by rain, and uncertainty surrounds the India vs Sri Lanka match. The official statement from Indian management is that these players will be making their debut today - Devdutt Padikkal, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Nitish Rana. Although it was reported that the net bowlers were added to the Indian squad, none of them got a chance to play today. This is a golden opportunity for the Sri Lankan team to get a win against India. It is not even a second string side. It is like a fourth string side..

Today they will be playing the second T20 match, the series has not been cancelled but, a last-minute decision can be taken. Krunal is out of the series and 8 players are in isolation as a precaution. Shaw, Surya Kumar, Ishan and Hardik will not be playing today and tomorrows match. Who will be replacing these players I have no idea.
Apart from Krunal, these are the players who have been ruled out for the remainder of the series:
Prithvi Shaw
Suryakumar Yadav
Hardik Pandya
Ishan Kishan
Devdutt Padikkal
Krishnappa Gowtham
The first two were supposed to join the Indian team in UK, so I am not sure whether they will be placed under isolation or not. News18 has reported that these two (Shaw and Yadav) will now face a delay in their departure to England, but there was no confirmation from the BCCI.
@pakhitheboss the net bowlers of team India have been added in the squad, and due to this I expect a win for Srilanka. Also if these player’s consistently get negative reports then I see no reason why they should not depart for UK, however final decision will be of UK whether they allow them to enter or keep them out of their country.
